The Berticevic and Brkovic families started raising the parish church in 1579. Mirca had at that time fifteen houses and seventy inhabitants. Enough to separate from Donji Humac and to unite with Sutivan. This former church, dedicated to Our Lady of Mirca, was enlarged in the second half of the 19th century with some baroque additions that we find in the majority of the churches on Brac.
In the church there is an altar painting Pieta, by the Brac painter F. Tironi from 1783 with the emphasized realizm of provincial apprehension.
